Trump Highlights Ongoing Negotiations with Iran and Warns of Possible Military Action

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Monday that his country does not necessarily need to change the regime in Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons, highlighting the challenge of identifying the right negotiating party in Tehran. Trump explained that Iran seeks to reach an agreement with Washington, adding that the U.S. has not dealt a decisive blow to Iran because it wants to negotiate. He noted that Iranians continue to discuss negotiations but did not rule out the possibility of military action, suggesting that Washington might eventually have to resolve the matter militarily. He also mentioned that Iran is facing a severe crisis, claiming it is unable to pay its military forces' salaries, and confirmed that the U.S. is monitoring the prospects for reaching an agreement with Tehran.
